Song Lyrics – Itchy Twitchy Feeling – Bobby Hendricks
Sittin’ here a wonderin’ what its all about
This rock and roll music that makes you shout
You tune in on Band Stand they’re a jumpin’ like mad
And they’re dancin’ they’re doin’ it,don’t look bad
You get that itchy twitchy feelin’
You start a rockin’ and a reelin’
Soon your arms and legs start flappin’
Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’
You’re a rockin’ and a rollin’
You don’t understand but it sure feels nice
You thought you might try it bout once or twice
You started with that dance they call the stroll
But you felt much better doin’ rock and roll
repeat
You come in the house with your hair on end
Nobody had to ask you where you been
You come in the house you’re still jumpin’ like mad
I’ve seen alot of people with it but a you got it bad
repeat
Don’t understand it what you’re talkin’ about
Must be something bout this music that I don’t know
I went to a hop and it didn’t take long I
got the feelin’ somethin’ was a goin’ wrong
repeat
Soon your arms and legs start flappin’
Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’
Soon your arms and legs start flappin’
Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’
